Brownian Motion Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) Does anyone here know for certain that these two were having a romantic fling when they recorded this wonderful duo album for Concord Jazz back in '85? All the evidence seems to indicate they were, from the tune selection ("Arubian Nights"!) to the possessive way Emily has draped herself over Larry on the cover shot.

Michael Fitzgerald Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Could we get an example of the "non-possessive" drape pose for guitarists? Herb Ellis & Barney Kessel? I wouldn't want to get into the whole gossip, rumour, and innuendo area on this, but I think suggesting that tune selection is any kind of proof doesn't hold water - I mean, is every instance of any romantic ballad on an album evidence of this?

Mike ← I didn't say it was proof--I said it was evidence. Here's the complete tune selection: 1. Arubian Nights 2. Joy Spring 3. Ill Wind 4. How My Heart Sings 5. Six Beats, Six Strings 6. Gerri's Blues 7. How Insensitive I think my question is an interesting one because interplay between two evenly matched jazz improvisers who also happen to be in love is something of a rarity.

Marion/Jimmy McPartland Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin Mike/Leni Stern Randy Brecker/Eliane Elias (Marc Johnson/Eliane Elias) Red Norvo/Mildred Bailey Ray Brown/Ella Fitzgerald Cindy Blackman/Wallace Roney Renee Rosnes/Billy Drummond These are the ones that first come to mind-I'm sure there are many more. Actually a good idea for a thread........... Edited September 26, 2005 by Free For All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Yeah, and you do NOT want to know about what Toshiko's tune "March of the Tadpoles" is really about...... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Fitzgerald Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'm not getting what your criteria are - one would like to believe that people get married because they're in love (at least at that moment) and that's the "proven" list, but they're ruled out? One could imagine that "old marrieds" are even stronger proof of love, but they're out? How about the recordings that John Hicks and Elise Woods made *before* they got married - are those OK?
